It looks like Yahoo is the latest competitor in the social TV market, with today’s announcement that it has acquired startup IntoNow . I was pretty impressed with IntoNow when it launched in January. On top of the basic ability to “check in” to a TV show, IntoNow’s mobile app added cool features like Netflix integration and the ability to see what’s on now that your friends have watched in the past. Most significantly, its technology offered the Shazam-like ability to automatically recognize a show by listening to a few seconds of sound.

Facebook has a message for the television world: social TV is coming. Andy Mitchell, SVP of Strategic Partner Development at Facebook, pitched a crowd of media and branding honchos at the PromaxBDA conference on Wednesday on the various ways in which he thinks his company can help the broadcast media embrace the social world. An obvious starting point was program filtering. "If you look at the program guide [as it stands now], you're trying to figure out what to watch among five hundred channels. It’s really hard," Mitchell said.

【流媒体网】大约十年前，Web2.0的出现使互联网用户从被动的阅读者变为主动的内容创造者。而十年之后的今天，电视用户大多还停留在被动接收电视节目的阶段。美国麻省理工学院电子研究实验室的特邀科学家蒙特佩蒂正在积极开发Social TV（社会化电视），意图将这种全新的电视观看方式推广给所有的电视用户。虽然电视节目不同于互联网上的内容，用户无法方便地完成内容的制作和播发，但是用户权力的彰显肯定是大势所趋。Social TV是电视2.0的初始形态，其出现正在引发一场收视革命。作为一项赋予用户更多选择权、丰富用户观看体验的新技术，社会化电视终究会走出一片新天地。
